New York Times Photography Assignment - Northern Vietnam

Written By Justin Mott

Photographer Selects is series where I reveal a full set of images from a recent assignment that were delivered to my client. I also share the assignment details and gear I used.

Normally, only the best of the best make it to publication but I thought it would be informative to see how I work a scene, the bad and the good shots I take, and what the client ultimately chooses(which isn’t always the same as what I prefer.)

SHOOTING DAYS | 2 Days
